Finsbury Leisure Centre
Finsbury Leisure Centre on Norman Street brings sport and activity to the heart of Islington, a short walk from Old Street Station. There's no gym or pool here, but you'll find plenty to keep you moving with indoor courts for basketball, badminton, table tennis and squash, plus a soft play area for younger kids. The outdoor 3G pitches are bigger than your average five-a-side setup and draw football fans throughout week, while the sports hall hosts everything from pickleball to private bookings. We run birthday parties and activities for children, with sessions for seniors too. Arsenal in the Community partners with us to bring coaching and programmes to local residents, and we work alongside schools to support sport across Islington.
